Crowdsourcing is the latest fad in seemingly every endeavor. From Kickstarter to Storify, it seems gathering money or ideas from others and using it for your own benefit has become commonplace.

I’m not immune. Occasionally I use it to figure out topics to write about that you people would like to read. This is one of those occasions. That I chose something to write about, not necessarily that you would like to read.

Starting Pitchers

Cranberry juice is the color of blood. Blood oranges have blood in their name. Like the blood that flows from a freshly killed deer before it is dressed. Or from the knife wound received on the hand from a friend who was trying to dress that freshly killed deer.

Center Field

Maybin is from North Carolina, where tobacco is pretty much the entire agricultural component of their economy. I wanted to say tobacco juice, but tobacco juice is actually an insecticide, which is just bad. Not to mention gross to even think about. Then I thought about saying tomacco juice.

Bullpen

I don’t know if you know this, given that they hardly ever mentioned it on the Fox Sports San Diego broadcasts, but Vincent grew up in Ramona. Ramona is the pit stop on the way to Julian, San Diego’s home of apple pie and apple cider.

Get those fancy fufu juices out of here. Buddy is not going for anything fancy. Just give him a black coffee. Had to figure out some way to stay awake during the Padres at-bats in 2014, after all. Because that offense put everyone to sleep.

Have a better idea than what I came up with? Leave it in the comments or tweet it at me using #PadresAndPuree. Otherwise, how will I see it?

I write something for Padres Public just about every week (during the season) and usually on Wednesday morning. Since you’re likely already following me on Twitter, tell your friends, family, and well-wishers to follow me.

Regarding Padres hitters, it’s unfortunate you ruled out an alcoholic component. I watched nearly every Padres game last year. It couldn’t hurt.
